Dads are notoriously hard to shop for, but Amazon aims to make the gift-giving choice easier this Father's Day by trimming the cost of its Kindle Fire HD tablet line.
From today until Saturday, June 8, Amazon is offering a $20 discount for its 7-inch Kindle Fire HD ($199), the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD ($269) and the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD with 4G LTE ($399). To access the deal, use the promotional code DADSFIRE at checkout.
It's important to note that these devices aren't ad-free -- they come with sponsored messages that appear as screensavers when the screen lock is on. It will cost you another $15 to make them disappear. Another stipulation is the HD tablets don't come with wall chargers, so the $20 you save with the deal can go toward purchasing a plug. But there are ways around it: Tell Dad to connect a micro USB wire to a computer for charging. (This could be a pain when traveling on vacation, though.)
The traditional (and non-HD) 7-inch Kindle Fire is not a part of Amazon's special, but it's competitively priced at $159.
